Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical training with a focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to manage conditions ranging from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise required to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet normally experience.
